I posted this in regulators but I also wanted to post it here where some may use IDs Single 2nd stage independent doubles One of the "drawbacks" of independent doubles (IDs) is the regulator changes. Removing a regulator from one's mouth at 100+ feet is something that some people might advise...

Does anyone know if there are second stages currently manufactured that can be connected from either side? The only one I know hasn't been made in decades:

Today is a big day for me, today I put down half the cost of a compressor of my own! This bad boy pumps 4.2 CFM at 4500PSI, OH BOY! They say if you get a pool or a boat you'll have a lot of friends, I wonder if that holds true for compressors? Not that I want a lot of friends but it should be...
